Photosynthesis
DEFINITION : Process of using energy in sunlight to convert
water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose is called
photosynthesis.
Elements used for making food :-
1. Chlorophyll
2. Water
3. Light of sun
Equation of Photosynthesis:-
Sun light
6CO2+ 12H2O C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2
Carbon dioxide chlorophyll Glucose Water Oxygen

In photosynthesis

(i) Producers are plants

(ii) Production is glucose
 (a) Photosynthesis pigment –
Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in green
plants.
(b) It is present in green leaves chloroplast
Site of photosynthesis- Chloroplast:-

(1) Chloroplast is in excess in leaves

(2) Inside a chloroplast there is matrix made
from protein, called Stoma .
© Raw material for photosynthesis
1. Carbondiixide (CO2)
2. Water (H2O)

Factors Effecting the Photosynthesis :

Internal Factors External Factors
Chloroplast Light
Structure of leaf CO2
Quantity of Production H2O
Temperature
Oxygen

Process of Photosynthesis :
Process of Photosynthesis is divided into two stages:
• Light Reaction
• Dark Reaction
Light Reaction

• Light is necessary for it.

• Light reacts with pigments in the leaf.
• Three changes are happened at the end :
– O2 Released
– ATP Formed
– NADPH2 Formed

Dark Reaction
• Light is not necessary for it.
 • It takes place in the stoma of chloroplast
• It reduces the power stored in ATP & NADPH.
• It may be understood by Calvin-Benson Cycle
